Free Music Notes for Love (CD + Audio DVD)
Free Music Review: Awesome
Hit: 5 Stars
You must get this to really show off your surround sound system. My wife and I also saw the LOVE show in Vegas a few months ago, and I would highly recommend going to the show, as well.
I would just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it, if the producers would put the Beatles catalog in multichannel sound. I would be the very first in line.
Free Music Review: Mixing it up
Hit: 5 Stars
I love how they mixed up alot of the songs and gave them a new spin. I first heard Strawberry Fields Forever played on the radio and thought this was a special version. Luckily the DJ said it was from the LOVE CD, so I found it online and ordered it. I was hoping the DVD that came with it was a video DVD, but it's only audio, so next time I would just buy the CD. If you love the Beatles you should add this to your collection.Free Music Review: Five Stars Less One For Compatibility Problem

I purchased LOVE because of the availability in the DVD format. For years I've wondered why DVD Audio hasn't caught on, it never dawned on me that the average consumer didn't have an understanding of the word AUDIO or perhaps the fault is in the labeling as DVD as it implies VIDEO. Regardless of why, it is a shame that more recordings aren't released in the DVD format. Whether one chooses to listen in PCM stereo, 96kHz/24-bit, Dolby 5.1, or my personal favorite, DTS-ES, the sound quality of DVD is remarkable! The fact that HD DVD's uses DTS bit-stream for DD lends support to my supposition that DTS provides a superior soundfield.
George Martin and his son Giles, having gone back to the original recorded elements, not just the master recordings, and have produced an incredible mixture of remarkable recordings with the best reproducing technology available. I know all the songs, but have never experienced them like this.
However, there is a problem that I've discovered. The DVD will not load on a Pioneer DVR-640H. It will load on an older Pioneer DVR-7000 and MacBook Pro. The problem with Mac is that although it decodes DD, it doesn't decode DTS. I solved this problem by using a Logitech Z-5500 surround system which decodes DTS through an optical connection.

UPDATE January 2008 - Compatible Problem: After having the Pioneer DVR-640H serviced within its original warranty period, the LOVE DVD will now load (firmware update). Unfortunately, Pioneer no longer provides firmware updates for their products via disc which means sending them the unit. Accordingly, they've applied an extension to the product's original warranty for firmware updates.
Free Music Review: Great, but DON'T buy the CD + Audio DVD!

Ok, so LOVE is great. I am in love with it, and can't stop listening to it since I got it, which was like 4 months ago. However, don't buy the dvd edition just because you think you are gonna get to see a small video or something from the actual Las Vegas show. The dvd is nothing but the LOVE background you have on your case, with the song that is playing at the moment. Which makes it a waste of money. But, don't let that discourage you from buying the CD. Cause truly, you are going to fall in LOVE with it. Literally!!! I have never heard anything like it. :) Two thumbs up. Go here, and buy it : LoveFree Music Review: Emotional experience

The CD gives more sound, more detail and more depth to the titles chosen for the CD...After seeing Beatles LOVE Cirque de Soliel in Vegas last week, it brings you to an emotional and sensual high unlike any Cirque or compilation of Beatles music. You hear vastly mroe than any other Beatles CD... You KNOW the lyrics and can sing to all of them...The sharpness of the instruments and vocals breathes a new life (not that they were 'old') and passion into the lyrics...You hear so much more...The show is a feast for the eyes and I found myself smiling/crying silently because of the feeling it gave as well as certain parts taking my breath away...even now, just hearing a Beatles song on the radio (I have XM) you notice mroe and appreciate the simplicity of their music and lyrics, yet they are not simplisitc at all...John and George (who planted the Cirque seed...) would have been so proud and would have approved completely of the 'newfound' music and interpretation of Cirque...Buy the CD - it flows superbly and ages well like a fine wine...And if you get the chance, go to Las Vegas and see the show...There are no bad seats and feel what this music can do to you...BTW...I was born in 1965 and BARELY remember the Beatles in their hayday (just glimpses as a child from the radio...), but can utterly appreciate what they have given to the world...
